Saturday, July 25, 2009i'm sorry to tell you but you're the last team to arrive

THE AMAZING RACE!!!

I love the show! Despite the reality tv tag, it beats a hell of a lot of tv programming on the air right now. I've always wanted to be a part of the show. And today, I possibly could be! No, I did not get on as a contestant. That would be great if I did but alas, not the case. What happened was, I potentially can be seen in the background. LOL. I know, nothing much to shout about but it is my fave reality competition.

They were filming in the market I was shopping at and one pair's camera guy actually stopped and took a 5 second shot of me, winked and ran off after the couple he was attached to. I was filmed by a crew of "The Amazing Race"!! Also, I passed by multiple pairs and their camera and sound guy so hopefully I will appear in one or another shot. Yea. My claim to fame will be a background, blink-and-you'll-miss-it part in "The Amazing Race"!

All in all, I bumped into 5 pairs. The first was a male-male partnership, second was a couple who looked really miserable, third was another couple wearing matching dark blue tees and the guy was wearing a bandanna - rambo-style (this is when I got filmed), fourth was another male-male pair I think - one of em had a combo of neon green with some pink hair and lastly was a girl-girl pair - an asian chick with a white girl. The only definite film capture that I know of is when I bumped into the third pair. And that's even if he wasn't just pointing the cam in my face and pretending to take a shot

If it was my 5 seconds of fame shot then of course, it's all dependant on the editing guys so crossing my fingers that I don't end up on the cutting room floor. I hope to see myself on "The Amazing Race". I wish I could meet Phil though. Have a run towards the mat and do the whole jump and get checked in routine. That would be super great if that happened! I'm so dorky but what else can I say?

OMG! This had to be it, because Maria Ho is Asian and the description fits!!

This is bone fide information folks.

I never revealed yet that there is a team that has one member with a shock of red hair. And they were wearing green!

The blogger also mentions a business trip to Singapore (as mentioned above) and re girlclumsy, I left her a link to the forum and told her she had many fans here so it might have been a shout out to the fans.

OK...since helping through a chance passing through LAX, you guys have got me hooked! After more thinking, I remember the first team I saw when entering the Terminal was Team # 5 - two males...they we're at the AA first class ticket area...the guy who was doing the talking was the taller, he had bleached blonde hair with red/pink highlights...a punk rocker look (although I have no idea who he was...) -- they did have orange shirts.

I am very inclined to think the blogger could be from Laos. Hmmm. So confusing.

I'm inclined to think the blogger's from either Laos/Vietnam. Not China. They'd be spotted there like that, and they spent three "legs" there last time, so why go there AGAIN? Plus, Laos/Vietnam are near Cambodia so they could've used other methods of transport aside from flights to hide the teams. (There is a bus service from Vientiane/Ho Chi Minh to Phnom Penh.)

I think if that's the case, either they are having 2 legs in Cambodia, or either way.. they could be going off to the airport now after a 12 hours pitstop. Why have they been in Cambodia for so long???

That explains it... HMMMMMMM. But it should be leg 3 now right? At least other countries spoilers will be popping up soon after they leave Cambodia!

My thought is that this is Leg 4. Japan>>somewhere else>>HCMC>>Phnom Penh.

On topic: Since the poster said "Saw two teams running round Bangkok airport filming an episode of the Amazing Race" not "running out", I'd say it was a transfer. Question is, where would they possibly go to from Bangkok? I just finished searching flights for Mooyou's AR, so I'm still in the flight-search mood.

we stumbled upon the Amazing Race being filmed in Vietnam (both on the Mekong and in HCMC).*and was so excited to take a picture with Phil (the host). **were told not to tell anybody that TAR was being filmed here.
